Allied Telesis X530 SERIES LICENSE TO ENABLE OPENFLOW VERSION 1.3 FOR 5 YEAR. - AT-FL-X530-OF13-5YR

Allied Telesis AT-FL-X530-OF13-5YR OpenFlow 1.3 5-Year License

Overview

The AT-FL-X530-OF13-5YR is a 5-year software license that unlocks OpenFlow version 1.3 on Allied Telesis X530 series managed switches. OpenFlow 1.3 is the SDN control-plane protocol that allows a centralized controller to program forwarding tables directly on the switch hardware — enabling traffic engineering, network virtualization, and policy-based routing without manual per-device configuration. If you are deploying a software-defined network architecture and need the X530 to participate as an OpenFlow-capable data-plane device, this license is the required activation key. Without it, OpenFlow functionality remains disabled on the switch regardless of firmware version.

Compatibility

This license applies exclusively to the Allied Telesis X530 series managed switches. The X530 family includes fixed-configuration and stackable gigabit/multi-gig models designed for enterprise access and aggregation layers. Confirm your specific X530 model supports OpenFlow 1.3 in its firmware release notes before purchasing — not all X530 variants may support the feature in all firmware versions. This license is not transferable to other Allied Telesis series (X510, X550, X930, or others) and does not cover OpenFlow versions prior to 1.3.

Installation Notes

License activation is performed through the AlliedWare Plus CLI or the Allied Telesis Device GUI. After purchase, you will receive a license key that must be applied to the target switch's license manager. The 5-year term begins at activation, not at purchase — confirm your deployment timeline accordingly. A switch reboot may be required to bring OpenFlow 1.3 services online after the license is applied. Pair with a compatible SDN controller (OpenFlow 1.3-compliant, such as OpenDaylight or ONOS) to complete the control-plane integration. Refer to the Allied Telesis managed switch licensing guide for step-by-step activation procedures specific to your X530 model.
